Abstract: Let be a unital closed subalgebra of the algebra of all continuous functions on a compact set in . We define the notion of an -isometry and show that, under a suitable regularity condition needed to apply Aleksandrov's work on the inner function problem, every -isometry is reflexive. This result applies to commuting isometries, spherical isometries, and more generally, to all subnormal tuples with normal spectrum contained in the Bergman-Shilov boundary of a strictly pseudoconvex or bounded symmetric domain.
